On a Lighter Note...

...justice has prevailed as far as the senior troglodyte* at Abu Ghraib. Yes, you guessed it.

Army Demotes General in Abu Ghraib Scandal

The Army has offered its last word on holding its generals accountable in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, but Congress is going to have the final say.

The Army announced that it demoted Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, whose Army Reserve unit was in charge of the prison compound during the period of abuse. Dropping her in rank to colonel required approval from President Bush, and officials said that he granted it on Thursday.

You go, George!

*troglodyte \TRAHG-luh-dyte\ noun

1 : a member of any of various peoples (as in antiquity) who lived or were reputed to live chiefly in caves
2 : a person characterized by reclusive habits or outmoded or reactionary attitudes

I was going to spend some lunchtime on this once I saw it in today's Star Ledger. Thanks for coming through, Ms. Sister.

Uh oh, that's a cue if I ever heard one, B...

Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go

Far away in Abu Ghraib
The Army chained prisoners like slaves
Took naughty pictures, gave them a scare
Hoods on their heads, and their bums were bare

I say, Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
Yah yah yah yah yah yah
Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go

OK let's give it to them, right now!

Soon...
Soon the Army, they got wise
Closed down the jail and busted some guys
Unlucky Lynndie done gone to trial
And the general lady goes out in style

I say, Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
Yah yah yah yah yah yah
Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go
I say, she gotta go now
Let's go!
